GWR Locomotives GWR Locomotives
King Edward II at Didcot in April 2011 4566 at Bridgnorth in April 2011

The purpose of this website is to provide information on all 147 existing ex-GWR standard gauge steam locomotives, together with recent photographs. Three diesel Railcars are also added. Narrow gauge locomotives are not included. Please note that the description ‘preserved’ should be treated with caution because many of the locomotives are in a sorry state and some are dismantled but, hopefully, awaiting restoration one day.

Almost all photographs have been taken from 2009 to 2012 but, as will be seen, some have been taken in very difficult locations.

Please also note that several locations will not necessarily be accurate because locomotives are often temporarily found elsewhere for restoration, for main-line use or on hire to other Preserved Railways. It is advisable to check the location of a locomotive before travelling.

There is an additional Photo Gallery immediately following the main list of locomotives. There is also a group of photographs of King Edward I in action in the South West and of King Edward II at Didcot. Five additional groups cover the Severn Valley Railway; West Somerset Railway; Tyseley Locomotive Works; a further group of GWR175 photographs, all taken in 2010; and finally a group of 2011 pictures.

Please let me know by Email on peterpascoe@sky.com of any inaccuracies or changes you may identify.
